Chapter 250 Just Consider the Unfilial Son Dead 17
每年1月，2月，还有6、7、8这三个月的月榜竞争是最残酷的。
There are many entertainment companies and singers in the industry. Everyone is in the same boat, so no single company can be allowed to dominate. If a company behaves too badly and arouses public outrage, other companies will unite to target that company, and then you'd better be in for a rough time!
So everyone agreed that releasing singles would be fine, but singers at the second tier or above would have to release albums during these five months.
Typically, the first songs released online during album promotion are the first and second singles, usually the best tracks on the album. At the same time, physical copies are also sold, primarily to the artist's fans. A week later, the remaining songs from the album are released online.
These five months are the peak season for singers to release songs. So, except for those who are releasing albums, those who are particularly confident in their singles, or those who have other schedules to coordinate with, such as the release of some TV series or movies where the theme song and insert songs need to be released at the same time, other singers generally avoid releasing songs during these five months.
In June, a total of eight artists at the second tier or above released albums. Each artist promoted their albums on Weibo well in advance. After the songs were released, the artists also held offline autograph sessions and appeared on various variety shows. It can be said that the first month after the album was released was the busiest time for the artists.
Artists' online albums can be downloaded as a package or one song at a time. The price is cheaper if you download the package. For example, Pan Yuting's album costs 3 yuan to download each song, but the package of 10 songs only costs 25 yuan.
In reality, each singer's album usually only has three to five truly great songs; the rest are just average. A casual listener would likely listen to a few tracks before downloading them based on their preferences, but many fans download the entire album to support their idol.
To put it bluntly, when singers release albums, they are essentially exploiting their fans; it's just a matter of one party willing to give and the other willing to receive.
Zhang Qianqian and Pan Yuting are both top-tier artists with a large fan base. Coupled with the online buzz surrounding the teacher "Fusheng" in recent months, their songs achieved phenomenal download numbers upon release, far surpassing other songs.
Since they had all sung Liu Yuxi's songs and were from the same company, the others also helped promote it on Weibo.
Besides their own fans, many netizens also listened to and downloaded these four songs because of the name of the teacher "Fusheng".
This month, Pan Yuting has either been attending events or on her way to attend events.
Liu Yuxi lies at home, watching dramas when she has nothing to do. Sometimes when she's bored, she'll check the comments from netizens under her Weibo posts, since this generation of netizens are all very nice to talk to.
Everything is ready at the new house; we just need to air it out a bit before we can move in.
Director Sun also asked Liu Yuxi about his plans for releasing songs. As the head of the company's songwriting department, he naturally hoped that Liu Yuxi could dominate the charts for six months, so that the company could produce another top-notch composer.
The company's current songwriter, Cao Qimo, rarely comes to the company and doesn't write songs much anymore. He's basically just retired. He only steps in when the company encounters an order that it can't complete and the boss invites him.
Note that he only does it occasionally. After all, songwriting requires inspiration, and if he happens to be without inspiration, then sorry, he would rather not write at all than write an ordinary song that would ruin his reputation.
Liu Yuxi is different. Although she is older, she is very prolific! Moreover, the quality of her songs is also high. Any one of the songs she has released could be the title track of an album.
In the past few months, Liu Yuxi went to the company to record songs for the artists and often met and chatted with Director Sun. Director Sun found Liu Yuxi to be very easy to talk to.
If Liu Yuxi is promoted to the position of "Uncle Qu," Director Sun believes that she will definitely be easier to communicate with than Cao Qimo, and his work will be easier then!
Based on the current online data, it's highly likely that Pan Yuting will take the top spot this month, marking her third consecutive month at the top.
Unfortunately, the artists who will be releasing songs next month are all relatively unknown. In addition, many other singers will be releasing albums later, including top-tier singers from two other companies, Li Chuan and Jin Shali. Their albums are both scheduled to be released in July and they are already promoting them everywhere.
He had advised Liu Yuxi to continue working with the company's top singers, or if that didn't work, to choose second-tier singers, since they had a large fan base. If she could just stay at the top of the charts for another three months, she would be the "Daddy of Qu".
When the time comes, she can write songs for whomever she wants, entirely according to her own personal preferences, without needing to consider the singer's status at all. She herself is a brand, with her own built-in fanbase.
But Liu Yuxi disagreed. She said she wrote those songs specifically for Lin Ling'er and her group, and that other singers definitely wouldn't achieve the results she envisioned. As for whether they could top the charts, she'd leave it to fate!
Liu Yuxi didn't make any promises about writing songs in the future, only saying that he would write when inspiration struck. However, Liu Yuxi plans to release a song next month and then take a few months off.
After all, how can a person have so much inspiration, an inexhaustible source? You always have to go out and find inspiration, right? Anyway, she has exceeded the company's targets this year, so even if she takes a year off, the company can't do anything about it.
With a plan in mind, Liu Yuxi started busying herself at home. First, she looked up which good songs included place names, then wrote these place names on small slips of paper, drew lots to decide the order of the visits, and then went to the company to select suitable people to sing these songs after she returned from her trip.
If the company really can't find a suitable singer, then let the company's variety show department put on a talent show! With so many people in China, surely we can find a few singers.
"Beijing," "Lhasa," "Lake Baikal," "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain," "Dali"... Liu Yuxi wrote down many slips of paper and then started drawing lots. The first one he drew was Beijing, and the second one was Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Alright, let's wander around Beijing first, and the next stop is Yunnan.
I put the other slips of paper into a small bag and put them in my suitcase. I still need to draw a travel destination in Yunnan.
In the days that followed, Liu Yuxi visited the Forbidden City in this world, watched the flag-raising ceremony, paid her respects at the Monument to the People's Heroes, climbed the Great Wall, and went to the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth, as well as the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace... Then she wrote two songs, "Beijing Beijing" and "Beijing One Night," in her newly prepared notebook. Well, the songs in this world didn't yet have opera singing or Chinese style.
